Another of these cute little critters from when I stayed in Scotland, from around the cottage where I stayed.Not sure about the crop on this though,went for portrait as he was looking at me but should I have gone for landscape.

Canon 1DMK 4,Canon 300f2,8,ISO 800,f4.5,1/125

Hi Karen,, this works IMHO in both formats,, depends on the message you conveying. :toast:

I think I would prefer to see it in landscape but a lovely capture nonetheless. It's interesting to see the difference in colours due to the moulting.

A good portrait Karen, personally I think a square crop would work nicely by taking the bottom space out.

Cheers,

Hello Karen.

Love the pose and detail.

I would go for a square crop on this one if it was mine as I feel the composition of the squirrel would work very nicely.

Very nice squirrel image and there are a number of cropping options and it really is down to personal taste so stick to what you prefer.
